1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers stabilized by multiple carboxylic acid functional comonomer residues against coagulation resulting from mechanical shear. These compositions display improved mechanical stability in comparison with dispersions stabilized by monocarboxylic acid functional comonomer residues. These compositions are useful as pressure sensitive adhesives and as binders for textiles, paper, nonwoven materials, and coatings.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers which are stabilized by chemically bound carboxyl groups are known to exhibit better mechanical stability, freeze-thaw stability, and pigment compatibility than dispersions stabilized only with physically adsorbed soaps. K. Sakota and T. Okaya, J. of Applied Poly. Science, 20 1735-1744 (1976). The stability of dispersions carboxylated by the inclusion of monocarboxylic acid functional comonomer has been investigated as a function of polymerization process. K. Sakota and T. Okaya, J. of Applied Poly. Science, 21 1025-1034 (1977); 20 2583-2587 (1976). It is known that surface bound acid is more effective in promoting stability than acid buried within the latex particles. D. R. Vijayendran, J. of Poly. Science, 23 893-11 (1979), has shown that the hydrophobicity of the carboxylic acid functional comonomer relative to that of the comonomers is important in determining to what extent the carboxylic acid functional comonomer will be buried or surface bound in the latex particle or will fail to incorporate into the latex particle altogether. It was found that a dicarboxylic acid functional comonomer, itaconic acid, largely failed to incorporate into a polystyrene latex in comparison with the more hydrophobic monocarboxylic acid functional comonomers, methacrylic and acrylic acids. In addition to the effect on mechanical stability, the nature of the carboxylic acid functional comonomer can affect a variety of other properties of the latex particle and films formed by coalescing latex particles. K. L. Hoy, J. of Coatings Technology, 51 27-41 (1981).
Monocarboxylic acid functional monomers such as acrylic and methacrylic acid are well known as constituents of pressure sensitive adhesive compositions. H. Warson, The Applications of Synthetic Resin Emulsions, 312 (1972). D. Satas, Handbook of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Technology, 299-305 (1982). Similarily, the use of dicarboxylic acid functional comonomers such as maleic, fumaric, crotonic, itaconic, and citraconic acids and corresponding anhydrides such as maleic, itaconic and citraconic anhydrides, as constituents of pressure-sensitive adhesives, is known to the art.
In order to be useful as or in formulating pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs), it is desirable that copolymers be tacky at the temperature of use. Assuming constant molecular weight and the absence of unreacted comonomer, solvent and plasticizer, tackiness can be achieved by selecting a copolymer composition displaying a low glass transition temperature (Tg). A Tg below 0� C. is desirable for adhesives which are to be used at or near room temperature. In acrylic and other adhesives in which low copolymer Tg is achievable be selecting comonomers with relatively long alkyl side chains (e.g., alkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids), low Tg copolymer is characterized by relatively great hydrophobicity. Prior art difunctional carboxylic acids are relatively hydrophilic and may consequently be difficult to incorporate in tacky, hydrophobic PSA copolymers.
The multifunctional acid comonomers of the present invention are useful in stabilizing hydrophobic PSA copolymers.
Latex rheological properties are sensitive to the incorporation of ionizable comonomers such as carboxylic functional monomers. For example, W. J. Lee, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,458,466, granted July 29, 1969, discloses latex compositions having improved rheological properties prepared from a comonomer composition comprising from about 1 to 10% of an alpha, beta-monoethylenically unsaturated mono- or polycarboxylic acid monomer having from 3 to 8 carbon atoms.
In one embodiment of this invention, a multifunctional acid anhydride is reacted with a hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate to yield comonomer useful in practicing the invention. The reaction of an alcohol functional compound with an anhydride is well known in the chemical art. For example, D. H. Clemens in U.S. Pat. No. 3,150,118, granted Sept. 22, 1964, discloses unsaturated acidic monomers produced by heating a hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate with maleic, succinic, or phthalic anhydride. Copolymers containing from about 1/4 to 10% by weight of the acidic monomers are disclosed to be particularly useful in the production of emulsion and solution coating materials.
Some of the preferred comonomers employed in the present invention are known in the chemical art. For example, I. H. McEwan in Canadian Patent No. 729,729, issued Mar. 8, 1966, discloses copolymers comprising copolymerized ethylenically unsaturated esters of the formula
wherein X is an organic radical containing at least one free hydroxyl or carboxyl group and each of Y and Z is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl and alkyl radicals of up to three carbon atoms. Examples of such comonomers are the allyl, methallyl, chloroallyl, hydroxyallyl and 1-penten-3-yl esters of acids such as succinic, glutaric, adipic, phthalic, mellitic, and trimellitic acids. Coating compositions containing a copolymer prepared with such acid functional monomer and a crosslinking agent and preferably a crosslinking catalyst are disclosed.
P. J. Pare in U.S. Pat. No. 3,207,765, granted Sept. 21, 1965, discloses a process for the production of vinyl trimellitates and polyester resins containing such trimellitates which may be crosslinked by admixing with an alpha, beta-unsaturated polymerizable monomer such as styrene, allylmethacrylate, or triallylphosphate and an optional peroxide catalyst.
J. R. Stephens and R. E. Van Strien in U.S. Pat. No. 3,063,969, granted Nov. 13, 1962, disclose 4-vinyltrimellitate and 4-vinyltrimellitate anhydride as well as polymers and copolymers prepared using these monomers which are useful for coatings and thermosetting resins.
H. Yasuno et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,250,007, granted Feb. 10, 1981, discloses a photosetting composition useful as a coating varnish comprising a modified, epoxidized butadiene polymer comprising 5-50 aromatic or cycloaliphatic polybasic carboxylic ester side chain groups per 100 butadiene units, each having at least one acryloyl or methacryloyl terminal group and a linking group formed by a reaction between the carboxylic radical in the polybasic carboxylic acid and an epoxy radical in the epoxidized butadiene polymer. Polybasic carboxylic acid compounds prepared from condensation from 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and phthalic anhydride, 2,3,3',4-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, and trimellitic anhydride are also disclosed.
Y. Taneda et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,695,877, granted Oct. 3, 1972, disclose photopolymerizable resin compositions comprising unsaturated polyester obtained by polycondensation of an acid component comprising (1) at least 5 mole percent (with respect to the total acid component) of aromatic polycarboxylic acid containing at least 3 carboxylic groups or functional derivatives thereof and (2) at least 30 mole percent (with respect to the total acid component) of ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or functional derivative thereof. A number of tricarboxylic acid functional aromatic compounds such as hemimellitic acid, trimellitic acid, 2,4,5-toluene tricarboxylic acid, pyromellitic acid and 1,2,4-naphthalene tricarboxylic acid are also disclosed.
E. Masuhara et al. in Reports of the Institute for Medical and Dental Engineering, 13, 21-25 (1979) disclose the preparation of 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitic anhydride and its use as a comonomer with methylmethacrylate to improve adhesion between polymethyl methacrylate rod and hard tissue such as human enamel.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide water insoluble copolymer aqueous dispersions with increased stability against coagulation resulting from mechanical shear. Another object of the invention is to provide aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers useful as pressure sensitive adhesives with enhanced adhesion. Another object of this invention is to provide aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers which can be stabilized against coagulation using a low level of surfactant. Another object of this invention is to provide aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers useful in formulating pressure sensitive adhesive compositions which exhibit good mechanical stability against shear induced coagulation and greater adhesion relative to prior art pressure sensitive adhesive emulsions. Still another object of this invention is to provide aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers prepared by a multiple stage (i.e. two or more stages) polymerization process in which the major fraction of the monomer mixture added during the final stage of the polymerization process consists of a monomer the corresponding homopolymer of which has a glass transition temperature of at least 70� C., such as styrene, alpha-methyl styrene, or vinyl toluene, which exhibit increased mechanical stability. Yet another object of this invention is to provide aqueous dispersions of water insoluble copolymers prepared by a multiple stage polymerization process in which the major proportion of the monomer mixture added during the final stage of the polymerization process consists of at least one monomer selected from styrene, alpha-methyl styrene, and vinyl toluene, which exhibits enhanced adhesion. These and other objects of the invention, which will become apparent below, are met by this invention. The polymer compositions of this invention are vinyl addition emulsion copolymers comprising a minor portion of a residue of at least one optionally substituted compound selected from the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl, and the (C5 -C10) cyclo- and bicyclo-alkanes and alkenes and the corresponding acids, provided that no residue bear fewer than two nor more than four carboxylic acid groups and provided that at least some portion of the compound or compounds bearing such residue or residues is not present in the monomer mixture in which polymerization is first initiated.
The compositions of this invention are vinyl addition emulsion polymers comprising a minor portion by weight of a residue of at least one optionally substituted compound selected from the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl and the (C5 -C10) cyclo- and bicyclo-alkanes and alkenes and the corresponding acids, provided that no residue bear fewer than two nor more than four carboxylic acid groups (multi acid functional monomer), and provided that at least some portion of the compound or compounds bearing such residue or residues is not present in the monomer mixture in which polymerization is first initiated.
This latter requirement implies that some portion of the multi acid functional monomer is added to the polymerization mix at some time after polymerization is first initiated. The addition may be made gradually or in discrete increments (batchwise). The multi acid functional monomer or monomers may be added alone or as part of a monomer mixture, containing other ethylenically unsaturated monomers and optionally including water, cosolvent, emulsifiers, surfactants and additives.
A "minor portion" is less than 50%.
Preferably, the compositions of the instant invention are vinyl addition emulsion polymers comprising a minor portion by weight of a residue of at least one compound selected from the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl and the (C5 -C10) cyclo- and bicyclo-alkanes and alkenes and the corresponding acids, optionally substituted with up to three substituents selected from halogen, nitro, cyano, (C1 -C6)alkyl, (C3 -C6)alkenyl, (C1 -C3)alkoxy, hydroxy, thio, amino, --CO2 H, -(C1 -C6)alkylhydroxy, mono(C1 -C4)alkylamino and di(C1 -C3)alkylamino, provided that no residue bear fewer than two nor more than four carboxylic acid groups, and provided that at least some portion of the compound or compounds during such residue or residues is not present in the monomer mixture in which polymerization is first initiated.
In another preferred embodiment the compositions of the instant invention are comprised of vinyl addition polymers comprising a minor portion by weight of a residue of the reaction product of at least one compound selected from the carboxylic acids of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl and the (C5 -C10) cyclo- and bicyclo-alkanes and alkenes, substituted with up to two substituents selected from --OH, --SH, -(C1 -C6)alkylhydroxy and -(C1 -C4)alkylthio, optionally substituted with up two substituents selected from halogen, nitro, cyano, (C1 -C6)alkyl, (C3 -C6)alkenyl, amino, --CO2 H, mono(C1 -C4)alkylamino and di(C1 -C4)alkylamino, and an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer bearing a carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride group, provided that no residue bear fewer than two nor more than four carboxylic acid groups, and provided that at least some portion of the compound or compounds bearing such residue or residues is not present in the monomer mixture in which polymerization is first initiated.
In a preferred embodiment the reaction product is an ester derived from a carboxylic acid anhydride or corresponding acid of benzene and a hydroxy(C1 -C5)alkyl acrylate or methacrylate. Still more preferred is the embodiment in which the residue is the reaction product of pyromellitic anhydride and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Another more preferred embodiment employs the reaction product of pyromellitic anhydride and hydroxypropyl methacrylate.
In another embodiment the reaction preduct is an ester derived from bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride and a (C1 -C4)alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, preferably hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl methacrylate.
It is preferred that the reaction product comprises from about 0.2 to about 10% by weight of the total monomer mixture.
The preparation of vinyl addition polymers by emulsion processes is well known to the art. An extensive and detailed account of emulsion polymerization may be found in D. C. Blakley, Emulsion Polymerization (John Wiley & Sons, 1975). The vinyl addition copolymer compositions of the instant invention may be copolymerized with water-insoluble and partially water soluble monomers by an emulsion technique in which the comonomers are emulsified by nonionic, cationic or anionic emulsifiers or suitable mixtures thereof. Copolymerization is effected with the aid of a free radical initiator or catalyst, such as an organic or inorganic peroxide catalyst, a hydroperoxide catalyst, peroxy catalysts, such as persulfates, and/or an azo catalyst. It is preferred that either a gradual addition or multistep process be employed. In a gradual addition process polymerization is initially initiated in a fraction of the total amount of monomer to be employed during the course of the polymerization. The remainder of the monomer is gradually added as the polymerization proceeds. The composition of the monomer mixture which is gradually added to the polymerization vessel need not be the same as that in which the copolymerization is first initiated. The composition of the monomer mixture to be added may itself change as the mixture is added. The monomer constituents of the monomer mixtures may be emulsified prior to addition. Monomer mixtures may contain one or more monomer components. Several different monomer mixtures may be added to the polymerization locus simultaneously. In a multistate polymerization the addition of monomer to the polymerization vessel is interrupted at least once. These periods of interruption mark the bounds of the various steps of the process.
In one preferred embodiment of this invention, a two-stage emulsion polymerization process is employed. Essentially all of the monomer bearing the multiple carboxylic acid groups may be added to the monomer solution or emulsion which may be continuously cofed with solutions which generate free radicals in the polymerization locus. This monomer solution may also contain at least one other monomer, the corresponding homopolymer of which displays a glass transition temperature of at least 70� C. ("high Tg monomer"), such as styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, or vinyl toluene. Styrene is preferred in this embodiment. The preferred proportion of high Tg monomer is from 5 to 20 weight percent of the total weight of polymer, with 7 to 15 weight percent more preferable. The preferred proportion of multi acid functional monomer is from 2 to 8 weight percent.
A polymerization process may be employed which results in a core-shell polymer structure. Core-shell polymers and their preparation are discussed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,120, granted Aug. 15, 1978, to J. E. Plamondon et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 3,655,825, granted Apr. 11, 1972 to L. C. Souder et al. and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,426,101, granted Feb. 4, 1969 to C. F. Ryan et al., all hereby incorporated by reference.
Examples of emulsifiers or surfactants suited to the polymerization processes of the present invention include alkali metal and ammonium salts, alkyl, aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl sulfonates, sulfates and polyether sulfates and the corresponding phosphates and phosphanates; and ethoxylated fatty acids, esters, alcohols, amines, amides and alkyl phenols.
Chain transfer agents including mercaptans, polymercaptans and polyhalogen compounds may be used in the polymerization mixture.
The multicarboxylic acid residues of the instant invention may be borne by comonomers which are consumed during the polymerization process or alternatively, the residues may be borned by compounds which are chemically reacted with the copolymers of the invention subsequent to the completion of some portion of the polymerization process.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention the multicarboxylic acid residues are borne by alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated comonomers which are copolymerized during the preparation of the copolymer compositions of the invention. One preferred class of comonomers consists of the reaction products resulting from the condensation of hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylates and the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl and the (C5 -C10) cyclo- and bicyclo-alkanes and alkenes and the corresponding acids. These latter compounds may be substituted with up to three substituents selected from halogen, nitrogen, cyano, (C1 -C6)alkyl, (C3 -C6)alkenyl, (C1 -C3)alkoxy, hydroxy, thio, amino, --CO2 H, -(C1 -C6)alkylhydroxy, mono(C1 -C4)alkylamino, and di(C1 -C3)-alkylamino. The residue of the acid or anhydride must bear no fewer than two nor more than four carboxylic acid groups.
In another preferred embodiment of this invention the hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate is first copolymerized. The resulting copolymer is subsequently condensed with at least one compound selected from the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl and (C5 -C10)cycloalkane and their corresponding acids.
In another embodiment of this invention the acrylate and methacrylate acid monoester of
HO(CH2 CH2 O)n H or HO[CH(CH3)CH2 O]n H,
in which n may be 1 to 50, preferably 1 to 20, and more preferably 1 to 10, is reacted with at least one compound selected according to this invention from the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl and the (C5 -C10)cycloalkanes and the corresponding acids. The resulting condensation product is then copolymerized to produce compositions of this invention.
In another embodiment of this invention at least one monomer selected from the class represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is an ethylenically unsaturated organic group,
R1 is linear (C1 -C4)alkyl, optionally hydroxy substituted;
X is Cl, Br or I, and
Y is an anion;
is reacted with at least one compound selected from the carboxylic acid anhydrides of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl, and the (C5 -C10)cyclo- and bicyclo-alkanes and alkenes and their corresponding acids. The unsaturated quaternary monomers employed in this embodiment are well known in the art. The preparation of one class of these compounds derived from acrylic or methacrylic acid is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,678,098 which is herein incorporated by reference. Quaternary ammonium monomers of this invention are taught by U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 391,659, filed June 24, 1982, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,583, and Ser. No. 291,010, filed Aug. 7, 1981, now abandoned in favor of Ser. No. 513,951 filed July 15, 1983, by T. W. Hutton, assigned to a common assignee with the instant application and herein incorporated by reference.
Acrylic or methacrylic acid esters having up to 18 carbon atoms may be included in the polymerization monomer mixture. These alkylmethacrylates and acrylates have an average of from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups, and include methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, and hexyl acrylate, heptyl acrylate, octyl methacrylate, nonyl acrylate, decyl acrylate, and the various isomers of these acrylates and methacrylates such as isooctyl acrylate. 2-ethylhexylacrylate may also be used. Higher alkylacrylates and methacrylates, such as dicyclopentenyl oxyalkyl acrylates and methacrylates, can be used, particularly in combination with lower acrylates and methacrylates.
The copolymer compositions of this invention are especially useful in applications such as pressure sensitive adhesives, binders for textiles, non-woven materials and coatings, in which a low-glass transition polymeric binder is desirable. For example, as is known in the art, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer used to prepare a pressure sensitive adhesive is preferred to be below 0� C. in order for the composition to exhibit tack at room temperature.
Glass transition temperature is a conventional criterion of polymer hardness and is described by Flory, Principals of Polymer Chemistry (Cornell University Press, 1953) 56-57. The Tg of a copolymer of any specific composition can be approximately calculated from the Tg s of the corresponding homopolymers. Fox, Bull. Am. Physics Soc., 1, 3, at 123 (1956). The preferred monomers can be blended to give the desired Tg of the copolymer. Most of the esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid having a low Tg are well known in the pressure sensitive adhesive art as monomers which can confer tack on the corresponding polymer.
A mixture of 57.6 g (0.30 moles) of 1,2,4-benzene tricarboxylic anhydride, 41.5 g (0.30 moles) hydroxyethyl methacrylate (94%) and 5 drops concentrated sulfuric acid is stirred and heated to 110�-120� C. After 30 minutes at 110�-120� C. the mixture becomes very viscous and is allowed to cool at room temperature. The solid product is dissolved in aqueous ammonia (approximately 40%) to be used for emulsion polymer preparation.
A reaction flask equipped with mechanical stirer, reflux condenser, thermometer and suitable ports is flushed with nitrogen for 15 minutes. The flask is charged with 450 parts water, 0.43 parts sodium carbonate, 0.48 parts sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 2.8 parts ammonium persulfate and is heated to 80�-83� C. In a separate vessel a monomer emulsion is prepared as follows:
200 parts water
3.7 parts sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate
539 parts BA
224 parts EA
54 parts AOPA
The monomer emulsion and catalyst cofeed consisting of 1.3 parts ammonium persulfate and 50 parts water are added continuously to the flask for 2 hrs. while maintaining the reaction temperature at 80�-83� C. Upon completion of the additions the temperature is maintained at 80�-83� C. for 15 minutes and then cooled to 55�-60� C. In a separate vessel a second monomer solution is prepared as follows:
30 parts water
48 parts HEMA.BTC (56%)
20 parts 28% aqueous ammonia
A solution of 6 parts FeSO4.7H2 O (0.15%) aqueous solution and 2 parts of 1% aqueous tetrasodium salt of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid solution are added to the reaction flask.
The second monomer solution is then continuously cofed for 20 minutes into the reaction flask with solution of 0.4 parts ammonium persulfate in 15 parts water and 0.4 parts sodium metabisulfite in 15 parts water while maintaining the reaction temperature at 55�-60� C. Upon completion of these additions 0.2 parts t-butylhydroperoxide in 5 parts water and 0.12 parts sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate in 5 parts of water are added to the reaction. After 10 minutes the emulsion is cooled to room temperature and filtered. The emulsion has 46.1% solids and is Example 6 in Table I below.
The pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) emulsion polymers are knife-coated onto 1 mil Mylar� or 1 ml corona-treated polypropylene to a wet thickness of 3-4 mils. The coated Mylar� film is dried in an air circulating oven for 15 minutes at 250� F. while a coated polypropylene film is dried for 15 minutes at a 150� F. The dried adhesive coatings are approximately 1 mil thick. The coated films are conditioned for 18 hours and tested at 25� C. temperature and 50% relative humidity.
Peel adhesion tests are performed using Test No. PSTC-1 of the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council. Shear adhesion is performed using PSTC-7. Peel values for 1 and 20 minutes dwell time and shear resistance values for 1/2 square inch are reported in Table II below. Rolling ball tack is tested using PSTC-6. Polyken tack is tested using a Polyken tack testing machine.
Latex mechanical stability results in Table I are determined by a qualtitative finger rub test. Three to four drops of emulsion are placed on an aluminum panel and vigorously rubbed with an index finger while extending as much downward pressure as possible. A poor rating results if the emulsion immediately breaks and coagulates on the panel and/or finger. A fair rating denotes that the emulsion survives approximately 1-5 seconds. An excellent rating is given to an emulsion which cannot be coagulated and remain stable until it begins to dry.
The following abbreviations are used in describing the comonomer composition of the polymers of this invention.

Paper roll towels employing the described polymers or binders are prepared and tested as follows:
Two 18" lengths of #4 Whatman Chromatographic paper are cut for each sample. These are conditioned at 72� F. and 50% RH for 30 min. The conditioned paper is then weighed to obtain tare weight.
The emulsion polymers are formulated with 2% (solids on solids) Aerotex M-3� and 1.5% (solids on solids) NH4 NO3. The formulated latex is then diluted with water to 5% solids. For comparison the emulsion polymer is diluted with water to 5% solids and contains no aminoplast or catalyst. In each case 1 pint of 5% solids latex is prepared.
The paper in the binder is dipped and fed through the rollers of a Birch padder. The paper is dried at 210� F. for 5 min. All sheets are cured at 300� F. for 3 min.
The sheets are conditioned at 72� F. and 50% RH for 18 hrs to allow for moisture pick up. The paper sheets are reweighed to determine % add on. Each sheet is cut to ten 1"�6" strips, four for dry tensile measurements and six for wet tensile measurements. A Thwing-Albert Intellect 500 tensile tester is used for dry and wet tensile measurements as follows:
Gap between jaws: 4 inches
Crosshead speed: 2"/min
Calibration: 50 Kg full scale load for dry tensile; 5000 g full scale load for wet tensile.
All samples are elongated to break. The wet tensile strips are immersed in 1% aqueous OT� surfactant solution for 15 seconds before testing. Maximum stress of each sample is read and recorded to the nearest gram. The average of twelve replicates is reported as the wet tensile and the average of eight replicates is reported as the dry tensile strength in grams per inch of width.
The tensile strengths are shown in Table III below.

These results indicate that the acid containing copolymer of this invention exhibit tensile strengths typical of paper towel binders. Wet tensile strengths are greatly improved by the presence of an aminoplast (Aerotex M-3) and NH4 NO3 catalyst.

Victims of Dallas-Fort Worth car wrecks and other accidents can suffer a multitude of different injuries from broken bones to spinal injuries. If you're lucky, your wounds will heal over time. However, many times serious injuries will result in lacerations which can leave significant scars which will never completely heal. Such disfigurements can cause additional mental and emotional anguish above and beyond the physical pain and suffering you have already endured. As a result, your personal injury attorney may be able to seek additional compensation in such circumstances.
Scarring is a natural part of the body's healing process, although the severity of the injury can affect the significant of the resulting scar. If the cut to the skin is only slight, for example, then the scar will likely be rather insignificant. When the wound is deeper and the think inner layer of skin called the dermis is damaged, than more pronounced scarring is common. Scars caused by lacerations of the skin are extremely common in traffic collisions and dog bite attacks, but they can occur in a variety of different accidents. Burns and scalds can result in scarring, for example, and industrial dermatitis is a common work-related injury where employees exposed to hazardous chemicals suffer residual scarring or pock marks as a result of these abrasive liquids.
If you have hired an experienced personal injury attorney for your case, most likely they will want to delay settling the case until the full scope of your injuries and any resultant scarring can be properly assessed by a medical professional. Only then can the true value of your case - including any potential future medical expenses - be accurately determined.
While most scars might never entirely heal, there are medical procedures which might be appropriate depending on your unique situation. Skin grafts are very common treatments in burn injury cases, for example, but other treatments include laser therapy or other plastic therapy procedures. Such options are best disused with a medical professional however, and in most cases your lawyer will be able to recommend a doctor who has experience in treating injuries similar to your own.
It is important that you seek legal advice if you have suffered scarring as a result of someone else's negligence as soon as possible following the accident. While many injury victims will never completely get over their catastrophic experiences, facial scars and disfigurements are a constant physical reminder of the pain and suffering you have endured.

Oregon may drop its glitch-laden Obamacare portal and rely on the federally run HealthCare.gov website instead, a stark turnaround for a state that embraced the health care law but failed to deliver a fully functioning exchange.
Alex Petit, the state's information technology chief, made the recommendation to a 16-member advisory committee Thursday because it would cost $78 million to fix its existing exchange.
Switching to the federal system would cost from $4 million to $6 million.
SEE ALSO: DeLAY: Hearings offer ripe target in Obamacare battle
Cover Oregon, which dropped its initial web contractor, Oracle, suffered the ignominy of being the only state-run health exchange that could not enroll consumers online from end to end during the open enrollment period from Oct. 1 to March 31. Instead, it had to rely on a clunky online-and-paper system.
The state tapped Deloitte to help them fix the website, but rising cost estimates for the project are more than the state can bear, according to Mr. Petit.
Several other state-run exchanges — Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Vermont among them — faced glitches and contract disputes with their vendors.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Health Care Reform
But Oregon may have fallen the hardest. It started off its Obamacare campaign with folk-song ads and a glossy website, but the nuts and bolts of the portal failed to meet expectations.
The federal Government Accountability Office has announced an investigation of Oregon's exchange, including looking at whether the federal government can reclaim grant money given to Cover Oregon if taxpayer funds were mismanaged.
Separately, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius asked for an inspector general's investigation into problems with the rollout of the health care law.
An independent investigation ordered by Gov. John Kitzhaber found state managers repeatedly failed to heed reports about technical problems that prevented the exchange from launching. The investigation also found that Oracle did a shoddy job in building the exchange. Four Oregon officials connected to the development of the Cover Oregon portal have resigned.
The Republican National Committee wasted no time in bidding the state exchange adieu and assigning political blame for its failure.
"While we may be saying goodbye to this failed state health care exchange, it will not be lost on anyone that John Kitzhaber and [Democratic Sen.] Jeff Merkley were the individuals responsible for giving Oregonians Cover Oregon," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said.
Cover Oregon has paid $134 million in federal funding to Oracle and has spent another nearly $7 million on the paper processing efforts.
Oracle said it "looks forward to providing any assistance the State needs in moving parts of Oregon's health care exchange to the Federal system if it ultimately decides to do so."
"Oracle will continue to support the State in providing long term solutions for Oregonians, and to assist with its ongoing health care modernization efforts," spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger said.
Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican and the House's top investigator, said the state should pick up the tab for transitioning to the federal exchange.
"Federal taxpayers should not be stuck with the bill twice for this disastrous project," he said. "The Administration needs to stop treating taxpayers as a bottomless piggy bank to bail out one botched Obamacare project after another. Poor execution by this administration is adding billions to the cost of a program that is already too expensive."

2007 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
My new Aura has received many compliments and is a pleasure to drive. I love the fact the new aura looks like a more expensive car and it draws a few stares from other car owners.
i love the stereo and the controls on the steering wheel. OnStar and hands free phone also a big plus. Very comfortable driver's seat and dash layout and all controls are very good.
Fuel economy with 3.5 liter is ok but not great, but in range of what is expected for this engine so far.
I now have 10,400 miles on my car and it has been a reliable joy to drive. I get 30.7 mpg at 80 mph on my work trips to Orlando. The car is quiet and tight. The upgraded sound system is as smooth as the outstanding handling is. A year ago I might have laughed at an American car company competing against the Japanese on television but this car competes with them and the Audis and Volvos. For $22,000, I got a car that saved me $10000 in comparison to German cars and gets noticed on the road. Thanks America for building a car that I am happy to drive.
Exterior and interior looks. Good acceleration with great mileage. Very good handling.
Rear seat armrest
Black with brown leather looks sharp. 18" machined wheels and low profile tires make it look like a European sport sedan, with a hint of true American muscle. Handling is superb - suspension is stiff, yet very comfortable (feels like a 5 series beemer). XE's engine provides plenty of power for a family car driver, who does not mind get around slower traffic on the highway. Much better value than Camry or Accord, and a whole lot more fun. First 500 miles I am averaging ~30 MPG on the highway and ~25 MPG in mixed 70% highway/30% city driving. Overall, one great car.
18" wheels, respectable engine power even in XE, brown leather, overall style
Trunk lid could use a handle for closing. Fully equped XE not quite available, little things only
2007 Saturn Aura XR 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I recently purchased the Saturn Aura XR after looking for the last 2 months at a number of vehicles. Saturn is comparing the XE to the Camry and Accord...but when I test drove the XR I found it more like an Infinity, Lexus or BMW. The performance that the Aura XR has is incredible for the price. My choice came down between the Infinity G35 and the Aura XR, and the XR was significantly cheaper for similar performance. The more I drive my new Aura the more I know I made the right choice. I love the look of the Aura and the performance is incredible. Saturn has upped their game in the Aura and I would reccomend the Aura to everyone
Tap shift, auto-start feature, auto temp control, and the OnStar features.
Purchased the vehicle about four months ago as a cheaper form of transportation. We had owned an SUV prior. Overall the vehicle's appearence and quality seems good. The interior has a Audi-esc appearence but not Audi quality. It is not bad quality it could just have a little better materials. However the fuel milage has been disappointing. It actually is getting worse mileage than the Honda CRV it replaced. In mixed, conservative driving it is only getting about 21.5 MPG. Very disappointing.
Appearance and quality of vehicle overall.
Improve the mileage. I was expecting mid to high 20's not low 20's

STORY 1: The Vegas Vacation, a Butler and a Dog Maid
Jay takes all the parents on a Sin City weekend after scoring some elite high-roller suites at the Mandalay Bay's exclusive Excelsior Level, which includes personal, British butler Leslie Higgins (it's a boy's name where he's from) played by guest star Stephen Merchant (The Ricky Gervais Show). The butler is fine, but it's the maid that Gloria has a problem with -- the hotel gift shop sells a giant dog statue dressed as a maid named Rebarka, which would make the perfect companion for Jay's precious dog butler Barkley.
Memorable Quotes:
Security Guard: "Sorry, sir, this is a private elevator."
Jay (flashing his platinum hotel keycard): "No need to apologize. I'm glad you're on top of this stuff."
Security Guard: "That's only for the Excelsior Level. This elevator goes to the top floor."
Jay: "I thought Excelsior was the top floor: 62."
Security Guard: "Mandalay Bay has 63 floors. Top floor is Excelsior Plus."
Jay (as the guard lets some tourists in): "Wait, they're allowed up there? They're wearing dungarees."
Jay: "Gloria, there's a floor above us."
Gloria: "What?!?"
Jay: "I know, it threw me, too. Excelsior Plus. But to the people on that floor, we're Excelsior Minus."
STORY 2: Phil Dunphy and the Secret Society of Magicians
Though Phil and Claire should be spending time in Vegas together, Phil slips away to visit a Vegas Secret Magic Society that invited him to perform for them. Phil plans on doing his "Metamorphosis" trick to wow the society, which includes the heroes of the underground magic blogosphere: The Kid, Kaiser Mayhem and Ducky Schindler (guest star Patton Oswalt). Meanwhile, Claire has her own clandestine plans to hit the casino and win back the money she lost on a girls' night in Vegas when she gambled away the savings she and Phil were stashing away for a 25th anniversary trip.
Memorable Quotes:
Phil (saying the password to enter the Secret Society of Magicians): "Rasputin's dalmatian drowned in the Volga."
Ducky: "I thought he was allergic to dogs."
Phil: "You're thinking of Merlin, and it was peanuts."
Phil (introducing his magic trick): "The miracle of 'Metamorphosis.' They say the only constant is change. Well, all of that is about to ch... be different."
Phil: "I actually have to call my wife."
Ducky: "Uh, no, Phil, you can't just stop in the middle of a trick. That's a cardinal rule."
Phil: "Guys, it's an emergency. Don't tell me you've never had to call your spouse." [The magicians look down sadly.] "Oh... there's people for you."
Claire: "We should stay in one place so he can find us. How about a blackjack table?"
Mitchell: "Oh, no, I'm really worn out from my massage, the sauna... It was a lot of detoxing, so..."
Claire: "Uh-huh. You know what you need? Some toxing. Hand of blackjack, a couple of tequilas. C'mon, it'll be fun. Do it!"
Mitchell: "You sound just like the kid who bullied me into smoking my first cigarette."
Claire: "Maybe this time you won't tell on me."
Phil: "I'm in a tight spot with my lady. You know what might help? One of those luxury baths."
Higgins: "Ah, get yourself out of some hot water by getting her into some."
Phil: "Wow, so good."
Higgins: "Thanking you. I thought the situation called for some humor. Might I suggest the Michael Bublé bath?"
STORY 3: Mitch, Cam and the Bachelor Party
Mitch runs into his ex, Langham (guest star Fred Armisen from Portlandia), whom he dumped via email. Langham and new his partner Tim are engaged, and they invite Mitch and Cam to their Vegas bachelor party, which includes a chance to see the all-male Scottish revue, The Kilty Pleasures. Mitch would rather relax at the spa, while Cam decides to sneak away to check out the festivities.
Memorable Quotes:
Cameron (drinking in the steam room): "I love cucumber water."
Mitchell: "I know..."
Cameron: "If I were president..."
Mitchell: "I know. Cucumbers in the reservoirs."
Higgins (watching The Kilty Pleasures perform in the hotel room): "This reminds me of my late grandfather."
Phil: "He was Scottish?"
Higgins: "He was a stripper."

text: Our family of four enjoyed a one night stay here last June. We were just passing through for a drive through the fantastic Dolomites, but wished we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy the facilities and beautiful surroundings. The room was very comfortable and new. We had a suite with one bedroom, a living room area with a pullout sofa, two televisions, two bathrooms, two balconies and a table and corner bench. The view of the town was nice, with homes and hotels built into the hillside. The service was very professional and friendly-they all spoke english, italian and german fluently. The restaurant was first class for dinner and breakfast. They served a wonderful buffet breakfast, especially compared to hotels further south in Italy. We'd definitely return, and would recommend this hotel to others. The Dolomite Drive will take your breath away and this is a perfect layover!

Jay from OSW Review here. We're back! Thanks to everyone for their overwhelming support of our No Holds Barred episode and Maffew for (not) believing in us. Bloody English, always keeping us Irish down…
Old School Wrestling Review is an audio podcast cut to video footage of the PPV, the first of it's kind! It's a complete run-down of the show, storylines & scandal, with friendly banter between 3 friends & 20+ year wrestling fans.

Great Stuff. I thought this was even better than the "No Holds Barred" video. Great to see discussion on an actual wrestling ppv.
Everything is covered accurately and succintly. I find it far more entertaining to watch this than the actual PPV.
The graphics and editing are top notch and very inventive.
If there's a more entertaining old-WWF review show, i haven't found it yet.

Spawn: Armageddon

|Action-adventure, hack and slash
Spawn: Armageddon is a video game released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube video game consoles. It is inspired by Spawn issues 1-99, and Todd McFarlane directed the game's production.
This gameplay focuses on fast and stylish combat (similar to the Devil May Cry and God of War series) gaining high breakable items, Souls, Technique points, comic covers, Time and Ranks. Spawn's main weapon is the Agony Axe (formed by his cape), which can cut through any demon. He is also armed with his trademark chains, which attack with great accuracy and speed. Spawn also finds firearms to use on stronger demons. He is also capable of using various hellish powers, particularly the necroplasm. The game features upgrades; Spawn must collect demon souls in order to buy ammunition, upgrade his weapons and increase his maximum health or necroplasm bar.[2]
The game starts off with Spawn on a decrepit rooftop above Des Plaines's forgotten chapel in Des Plaines, IL. He then receives flashbacks of his former life, and his betrayal by Jason Wynn. Suddenly, a brilliant green flash of light tears through the city, signaling the demon's war against the angels in battle known as Armageddon. Knocked off the rooftops, Spawn takes to the street not only to answer the call but maybe even to get revenge.
Various characters from the Spawn comic book are featured in the game:
- Spawn — the main character of the game. Once the assassin, Al Simmons, who was murdered and sold his soul to the Devil, Malebolgia in order to see his beloved wife again. Spawn must find out the cause of the green beam. As he is searching for answers he is caught up in a war between Heaven and Hell.
- Violator — also known as the Clown. Despite his appearance, he is not a human being but a demon. He believes himself to be the perfect demon to lead the armies of Hell, but Lady Satana prefers someone with a soul of Sigilkind — namely, Spawn. Violator's jealousy has brought both the two together on many occasions.
- Mammon — one of Spawn's guides and his mentor. His motives are unclear to Spawn, who isn't sure whether he can wholly trust this suave character. However, Mammon is extremely knowledgeable and Spawn can take advantage of that.
- Cy Gor — an escaped experiment. Cy Gor is a cyborg gorilla, an experimental creature by Jason Wynn. Apparently freed by the green beam, Cy Gor now roams the city, destroying anything that tries to stop him. It is up to Spawn to stop this raging beast.
- Malebolgia — the one who made a deal with Al Simmons so he could see his beloved wife again. He and his sister, Goddess are preparing their war known as Armageddon by using both good and evil souls on Gazer itself. He also sent the Violator to Gazer to bring Spawn into the path of darkness.
- Goddess — the one who caused that green beam as signal for the army of souls and angels to attack Malebolgia and his forces of Hell itself. She allows the Star Hive to watch Spawn himself. She and her brother Malebolgia have begun their war now.
Marilyn Manson's song "Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth" from his 2003 album Golden Age of Grotesque is used for the intro video and credits.[3]
Spawn received an aggregate score of 60% for the Xbox version, and slightly less for the other platforms.[4] The action was criticized for being basic and repetitive, and the combos described as "lame."[5][6][7]

For the price you can't beat this optic. Simple to install and use. Has some nice features with different color choices (Red or Green), intensity and sight graphics (along with MOA's). I installed the optic on my M4, bore sighted it and took it to the range for a final sighting, everything was tight and good to go. Very easy and best of all INEXPENSIVE. If you have little experience with optics and don't want to pay a lot of money and have lots of different capabilities built in, this is the optic for you.
Good Reflex very bright, holds zero, the only thing I do not like is the battery cover needs to be resized its the same size as the dial which loosens it when you turn on or adjust brightness. Other than that you cant beet it. Same quality as $300 reflex red dots. I never give 5 star rating on anything unless utterly amazed for your purpose you can call it a 5 star.
I mounted the TruGlo on a Remington 66 22lr , this is a Great scope, If you are getting older like me and can't see the sights this thing works. I had to use a Tru Glo adapter to mount in on my rifle which made it sit up a little high. It only took a few shots to sight in, the different colors and reticals makeit easy for all kinds of shooting conditions. I will buy another one for my AR 15.
Originally I ordered this optic for my Ruger 10/22 take-down. I'm not a big fan of the original iron sights on it. Between the time I placed my order and delivery, which was very fast as well as a day ahead of the predicted schedule I bought a new rifle. Since the new rifle is a Sig Sauer M400 H20B MOE with a flat top rail and no sights I decided to put it on that immediately. I took it to the range later that day this Tuesday afternoon (dark, humid, cloudy and rainy) after mounting it on the rifle's rail shooting 30 rounds of .223. The initial results were very good, but limited due to weather and timing. Yesterday (Wednesday, bright, humid and very sunny) I fine tuned it at the range shooting an additional 70 rounds and am so far very very pleased. I was quickly shooting bulls-eyes at 50 Yards on a 1 5/8" bulls-eye target. Today I will be taking it to the 100 yard range to zero it at that distance, see how it does and try different settings. There are many features and functions I want to try to see what's best. Most of my shots thus far have been made using the 5 MOA red dot on the brightest setting (5). It was very easy to mount and sight in. The optic was very bright under all of the lighting and weather conditions above and did not fog or have any issues. Not only am I very pleased, but also may need to order another one for the Ruger.
Priced the same sight at a local gun shop and they had to order it (5-10 business days) for $79.99
I had it shipped to my house in 2 days for a total price of $84.00
Had it on my Remington M887 Magnum in seconds and sighted in about 10 minutes!
Very nice and clear with different sight patterns and colors to choose from.
This is a great set up for killing long beards.
Bought this for my husband. He said Scope was easy to install, accurate and exactly what he was looking for.
I mounted it on my Ruger 22/45 MK3 .22 pistol. After getting it sighted in I put 10 rounds near the bullseye!
Does what it is supposed to. The only drawback is it doesn't shut off on its own.
Mounting screw broke when I first installed. Company was VERY responsive and had an email that night asking for details. Sent me new mounting screws right away and I am happy with purchase.
I was putting this on my 20 ga. and the rear base screw broke in my hand as I was tighting it by hand according to the instructions. I also found a Browning buckmark reflex sight for $44.99 with Sportsman Guide on line
I'm sure this would have been a great scope. It came damaged so I had to return it. Not Walmart's fault just one of those things that happen from time to time. Will reorder if unable to find in a local store.
The optic was broken when it arrived. The reticle was canted. the reticle also was blury. The switch to change the reticle did not work either. Stay away from this product!! The only good thing is I returned it to the store up the road from my house and got my money back.
When I installed the first sight, I noticed that the holographs were blurry, even the red dot was blurry. So I sent it back and Walmart sent me a new on within days. Great transaction. However, the second sight was just the same. I decided to keep it and us it on knock around farm gun. I will be spending more money to get a quality holographic sight.
I ordered this scope for my husband's rifle and in addition to the recticle being damaged, it did not fit properly on the gun, even though the manufacturer's website said it would work. Don't even bother to order it...after all the time waiting on it to arrive had to take it back. Will deal with local gun shops in the future.
mounted easily, and once on target, it was easy to zero in.
I bought this scope and a Tasco red dot also. Both work very well on my two air guns.
The Tru-Glo is on a Crosman Vigilante and the Tasco is on a PC77 pump.
Sight is easy to see even on the first brightness setting.
Just what the doctor ordered, my ageing eyes find it hard to focus on the front site and target, this scope has solved my problem.
Fast shipment to my home, easy instructions and quick mount on my Beretta Neos Zeroed in 5 rounds, very accurate holds setting, !st 100 rounds noticed mounting loosening added a dab of blue loctite easy fix. after 500 rounds dot would shut off
found the perfect spot on dial for each setting now its operating fine - today fired off another 500 rounds without a hicup. I am very pleased with its performance and accuracy. To Date i have cycled approximatly 1500 rounds I think I'll keep it.
This sight is easy to work and the multi reticles make it more appealing. Nice price too.
The site was leaning to the left, I had to put a little spacer underneath it to compensate for the grip that it got on the rail. Got it on target really quickly, I wonder if it is not the same site as ones that go for a lot less on the internet. Overall very pleased it's a nice miniature size even for a handgun.

Thanks for sharing, Brianna - I love the colorful infographic! While looking at demographics of platforms, as well as which are best for attaining your goals, I think that marketers need to look deeper at the customer or potential customer. Not just *who* likes your product/service, but *how* they use it. Taking this feedback could steer your brand strategy in a really meaningful way. For example, maybe people love your product because of its many uses (eg: cotton balls) - Pinterest would be a great way to demonstrate them - even if the product itself isn't that pretty itself. Or customers may appreciate getting in touch with your company quickly to solve an issue (eg: a cable service) and look to Twitter to get an answer as quickly as possible.
Social media is about understanding your customers and adding value to their lives. Listen and you'll know pretty quickly where to connect with them.
Aug 16 Posted 2 years ago
Thanks Brianna, great representation, with one unfortunate omission - Foursquare - a social platform all on it's own, that reaches out to other platforms, and is an absolute must for bricks and mortar (#brimor) businesses anywhere!

Arun, what do you mean when you commented that LinkedIn is for graduates? I think of it as being for professional business people, certainly most of whom are college graduates, but when I read "gradutes" in this context, I thought maybe you meant those who just graduated from college. What did you mean? Thank you.
Aug 9 Posted 2 years ago
Thanks for this infographic - this is quite awesome. Apart from Pinterest that is clearly for ladies and LinkedIn for graduates (it was expected at least for this one), the distribution of data in the population looks quite homogenous... Thanks again.

Toledo is located on the western end of Lake Erie. The city, founded on the shores of Maumee River, is an important ecological site. It is located inside a sandy oak savanna called the Oaks Opening Region. It's considered one of the only 200 Last Great Places on Earth. You can make your home a great place, too, by working with Champion on custom-manufactured replacement windows, siding, sunrooms, roofing, and doors. They're made in the USA, and they're sold, installed, and serviced by professionals in Toledo who are committed to delivering the finest home-improvement experience possible.
"We are very pleased with the windows, the salesman, and the installation crew from Champion Windows."
"The process was easy and the installation crew was great."
"I am very happy with the service and the quality of Champion Windows. I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in improving their home. They are an excellent company to work with."
